SKETCHES: The Gamescom day

Posted by – August 20, 2009

Hi,

saw this guy in the checkout line before me.

I think wearing ED HARDY is atrocious and evil.. but you cant hate old people still trying to juggle!

And then came my hours of walking at GAMESCOM, the largest games convention in Europe.

And boy was it boring! Granted, I never have been to something like this AND i really did not know what to expect.. but i don’t get why people go to these things.

You look at screens playing videos (that you also can see online one week later), your able to play demos (also available later the same week) and you get demos of games really new BUT you have to wait for at least two hours to get in (Diablo 3, RAGE).

YUCK! But of course, there are lots of funny people walking around, 90% wearing a shirt that contains a funny pun involving video games.

Here is an example:

The god of icecream granted me some of his gold after this stressfull experience:

Today’s weirdest guy, FRIDAY 14th EDITION

Posted by – August 14, 2009

This fellow was sitting across from me in the train and visibly nervous.

Never thought the devil would be so chubby and bad at hiding “his signs” of evilness.

SKETCHES and a BOOK REVIEW

Posted by – August 14, 2009

Hello!

Apart from reworking the site, I´m currently trying to get a better hang of drawing in FLASH after having read this great Posts about it.

Its not really easy and I tend to screw up things after investing at least half an hour of drawing time.. but I´m curious to see if this could be good way to ink some comics.

ET PLUS:

I´ll  do more Album Covers, Posters, things to get more meat into my Portfolio. Environments are also still sadly very blatantly missing from that part of the website. And I´ll try to draw a picture for everything I review/talk about.  GO GO GO NEW BLOG!

I tend to read books from authors I “know” a lot more then experimenting with the unknown writer.

That’s why this is another post about work from David Foster Wallace (but it could also have been Haruki Murakami for that matter).

Reading his various essays is just pure entertainment without ever feeling ashamed or dumb. His topics have a huge range (from David Lynch to the life of a bottom Pro-Tennis player and to the heart of the book, his experience on a cruise ship). Its laugh out loud funny at times (please excuse that phrase, but I DID giggle a lot reading this during my daily commute) while always being smart and focused.

You always feel Wallace directly talking to you and you really tend to “get” his character as a human being through this texts.
